It's so funny for me to see people still writing books like this set in Bangkok. Sure, it can be seedy, like lots of big cities, but it's mostly safe and fun. Good books in this vein thrive on sinister settings, whether it be Raymond Chandler's LA or Robert B. Parker's Boston, so I have nothing against books like A NAIL THROUGH THE HEART (in fact, I'll probably buy it today), but the typical Bangkok setting is becoming kind of laughable, in my opinion. Nice review, Bruce.
